Fantastic give me ten more of them!! Theresa unknowingly married a serial killer and after he tries to kill her, is jailed in a maximum security prison leaving her to go on the run with her 4 year old Samatha. J.T is an ex military and ex mercenary who Theresa seeks out when her husband breaks out of prison by killing two armed guards. She hires him to teach her to defend herself when her ex Jim comes for her. Between the touch her and die vibes, Theresa being a badass, and the twisty turny plot, this was an absolute banger for all 400ish pages. My literal only complaint is that I needed more like lead up to their romance/attraction. It felt kinda sudden and it was a little bit of a letdown but otherwise no notes!
